Grayscale’s BTC Leads Spot Bitcoin ETF Inflow With $131M

As the crypto bear market drags on, investors have revived their desire to accumulate bitcoin. According to on-chain data from SoSoValue, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) raked in $145 million worth of BTC yesterday.

Grayscale’s BTC fund led inflows with 1,850 BTC, worth approximately $131 million. This would be the first time this year that the investment fund will lead the inflow record. The last time that the BTC ETF came first on the chart was on November 18, 2025.

Grayscale’s BTC Leads the Chart

In most cases, BlackRock’s IBIT led inflows, with a significant gap compared with other Bitcoin-focused ETFs. However, things went the other way yesterday, as IBIT saw the largest outflow of the day. It parted ways with 294.83 BTC (worth $20.85 million). Currently, it holds $54.1 billion worth of bitcoin.

It is currently unclear what led investors to pour in their money into Grayscale’s BTC. Still, it is possible that they are in the quest for the cheapest route to accumulate the spot Bitcoin ETF. Since its inception in 2024, the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust has prided itself as the cheapest Bitcoin ETF, with a 0.15% fee.

Recall that Grayscale debuted the investment fund after its initial Bitcoin ETF, GBTC, experienced repeated outflows due to its 1.5% fee. Today, investors have withdrawn $25.88 billion worth of bitcoin from the GBTC fund.

Other ETFs Record Inflows

Aside from Grayscale’s BTC, four other Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows. Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB saw the second-largest influx of the day, totaling 199.16 BTC (worth $14.09 million).

VanEck’s HODL followed with an inflow of 169.68 (worth $12 million). Franklin Templeton’s EZBC raked in 86.75 BTC (valued at $6.14 million). Fidelity’s FBTC recorded the lowest inflow, at 43.56 BTC (worth $3.08 million). The remaining ETFs saw zero flow for the day.

Interestingly, these inflows came despite BTC’s recent decline from $90,500 to $68,900 in a month, representing a 23.88% decrease. The continuous accumulation shows that these investors believe in the asset’s ability to recover from its lows.
